You can climb down off your high horse, Hydro (or should I say your high 'dragon?'). Ever heard the term "Risk Aware Consensual Kink?" It implies that some of the things we do involve risk. Lonely guys in Mommy's basement can have a heart attack and die during a one-handed chat session too. Do you lecture your friends on the possible legal ramifications of driving fast on country roads with passengers? Providing alcohol at parties? I take these threads with more than a pinch of salt (a ring of it around the top of a margarita glass is about right), but there are some interesting ideas at the bottom. If you hope to achieve a post-graduate degree perhaps your summer project should be learning to shut up and read between the lines. You have fun on the boat. I'm off to a midnight BBQ and after that, I'm going to do things to my wife that could, worst case, put me in prison for the rest of my life. At some level, What It Is That We Do simply isn't a completely safe and rational choice. But, GOD what a rush.
